‘What can you do in hiding? Do not forget what happened to your brothers at CharlieHebdo. The kind of money they spent on security is not the kind of money you can get. It still didn’t benefit them. Do not forget Charlie Hebdo.’

One user told the blogger to stop his online activism if he “wanted to continue to live in this world”.

The user added: “I can’t breathe properly with you alive. You’ll be the next person to disappear from Male soon.”

Some of the violent messages also made references to the 2015 Charlie Hebdo massacre which killed 12 people.

One message read: “What can you do in hiding? Do not forget what happened to your brothers in Charlie Hebdo. Do not forget Charlie Hebdo.”

Muju, who had complained repeatedly to police, said: “When you know these extremists actually mean to do you harm and will do whatever is necessary to kill you – it’s hardly a comforting thought at this point. Nothing is ideal except I’m alive.

Although the activist, who has been campaigning for 13 years, continues to receive threats, he said he will never stop speaking against the Maldives’ political and religious establishment.

Muju said: “You can kill one person but you can’t kill ideas.

“I may be vulnerable to an attack but the idea of freedom, human rights and secularism cannot be killed and it will go on.”

Muju Naeem

Muju, while in hiding, is unable to work and is living off the generosity of friends and well-wishers.

He is currently waiting for a decision on his asylum application submitted last month with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

He hopes to resettle in a safe haven country as a refugee.

In an emotional appeal, Muju said: “I am seeking assistance in getting a sponsor in the potential host countries – US and Canada – to help with my asylum process, so that I’m able to get to safety quicker.

“Delayed asylum could very well mean the difference between life and death for me”

Muju’s pal Yameen was the third media figure to be targeted in the Maldives in the past five years.

He was reportedly found dead with his throat slit, 16 stab wounds on his body and part of his skull missing.

Advice from the Foreign Office warns British visitors that there is a general threat from terrorism and attacks in the Maldives.

The website states: “There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals, from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. “

“You should be vigilant at this time.”
